The author gave little information about the female character and the male character was less than desirable for a romance novel. After all, he was the biggest rake in London though in love since the age of 9 with the girl his upstanding brother was about to marry. A lot of the urgency in this novel is his need to clear his name so he can stop this wedding. It's hard to push through a novel when you have no emotional involvement with the characters. Then the book is pretty good for about 150 pages only to be wrapped up in a convoluted way in the last twenty-five pages with a bomb dropped and overlooked by the impacted characters. And, what money from Mr. Hunt? Truthfully, the whole story made little sense. (  ) phyllisd | Oct 12, 2008 |  This was a great read, Madeline and Colin were both very strong characters. The story was great and not nearly as predictable as so many other HEA's. Ms. Long may need to move to my auto buy list. (  ) celauer | Mar 3, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
A rescued rogue . . .
Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary.
A captivating captor. . .
Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it. But when it becomes clear that whoever wants Colin alive wants Madeline dead, the two become uneasy allies in a deadly race for truth. Together, they'll face great danger—and a passion neither can resist.
